Last year, Gratitude blessed me with my ideal
job.After two years of interviewing and
hoping without results, Gratitude delivered me four job offers in the span of
only months.It only took me using the
power of Gratitude to pave the way for the job that is perfect for me.

So I’ve been on my job now for eight months,
and I love it.I love that I’m doing
work that I enjoy.I’m grateful that the
work environment is more relaxed and inviting.I love it that my coworkers are a pleasure to work with and that my
management have been great as well.I
can’t begin to explain the appreciation that I have for the flexible work hours
that provides a healthy life/work balance.

There’s a caveat to my perfect job that I’ve
been working with Gratitude to help me overcome.My organization over the past odd months have
been experiencing some financial issues.These issues have been passed down to affect employees in the form of
pay cuts, which would have amounted to a 20% pay cut.At first, I started to feel a wave of worry
creep up, but I told myself, to focus on the loves I have for my job.I kept affirming what I was grateful about my
job and that I was grateful that everything would work out.When friends would bring the subject up, I
would say that I was grateful that I was employed because a pay cut is a
blessing compared to layoffs that others were experiencing.I was told to “face reality,” but I kept my
steadfastness on Gratitude.It doesn’t
matter what my physical “reality,” is showing, if I do my part in keeping my
mind focused on Gratitude and the good in my life, Gratitude will do its part.

A day or so later, after I took a stance to
not entertain the “dooms day” mentality that so many of my friends and comrades
held, leadership announced financial improvements.The pay cuts were declared to be
reduced.It was like magic that I saw
the power of Gratitude in action.

And then again, more recently, it was
announced that the pay cuts were being reduced again.Now, the pay cuts have been reduced by 50%
from the initial forecasts.I’m so
grateful.It does my heart so good to
see the love, care and protection that Gratitude provides, when you allow her
gifts in your life.

The financial issues are improving, and I
expect that very soon, more pay cut reductions will be announced until the
situation has been completely resolved.

What I have learned from personal experience
in living with Gratitude, is that you have to be grateful for the desires of
your heart before you see them in
your life.Many people don’t understand
this concept, but it is so important.

Now faith is confidence in what we
hope for and assurance about what we do not see.—Hebrews 11:1 (New
International Version)

Spirit values faith, and good works in your
life require faith in Gratitude and Love to work things out.In church yesterday, the choir sang a
beautiful song that said, “I See God’s Grace through the Eyes of Faith.”It is the way to seeing the resolution to so
many things that may pop up in our lives.When we let go—let go of the worries and need to control outcomes—then
we can allow Gratitude to take charge.And
take charge she will!

About this Blog

Every moment is a gift—and the recognition of this is Gratitude. My journey with Gratitude started on March 6, 2012 when I began doing the 28-day Gratitude exercises from The Magic by Rhonda Byrne. At the time, I was adjusting to life challenges that had me emotionally drained, was trying to remove myself from a living situation rut, and needed a breakthrough with my then current job. Gratitude transformed all of those issues, transformed my life. As I learned from The Power and The Magic by Rhonda Byrne, Gratitude is a loving and powerful energy, a Law of Nature. Soon after I began living in Gratitude, I was experiencing its power day-by-day. When you give Gratitude, you receive so much more to be grateful about.
This blog is inspired by The Power and The Magic by Rhonda Byrne. I am so grateful for both life-changing books. When you open yourself up to Gratitude, you are embarking into a personal relationship with the Divine. I am still learning about Gratitude and ever growing closer to the Divine as each day of living in Gratitude passes. This blog chronicles the love, joy and delight of living in Gratitude.
